Ultrasonic plastic deformation of steels

Abstract

In the work we demonstrate the possibility of forming thin surface and near-surface layers with submicrocrystalline structure under ultrasonic plastic deformation of machined steels. Formation of fine gradient textures up to nanocrystalline allows significant changing physical and mechanical properties of machined steels. Ensures improvement of microstructure, produces internal compressive strains which improves the cyclic strength of machine parts.
